    Drilling and Carving Issues

    Can someone explain to me why my CNC machine always taking a dive when carving or drilling? I have a Stepcraft D840 ATC. Every time I carve or drill somewhere in the process the bit just take a dive and mess up my whole work piece. The machine is leveled runs smooth ATC works ok. The preview of the toolpath look good, but I just can't stop it from going scuba diving without water.[ATTACH=CONFIG]439227[/ATTACH]

    Here is a video on my YouTube channel.

    Re: Drilling and Carving Issues

    Why does it stop moving? Is that the end of the program, or does it throw an error?

    Looks odd- is your tool by any chance getting yanked out of the collet?

    want to post your G code? I doubt its the issue but its always worth inspecting to make sure its not the problem.
